People thinking they can armchair diagnose for any reason at all is literally why I left FD. I didn't have the tools back then to tell people they were armchair-diagnosing, and telling people self-definition is fine as long as they don't analyse others through this paradigm got taken the wrong way.
I've suffered lifelong mental abuse and have confirmed CPTSD and no-one should go through similar. But online resources convincing everyone they've met a narcissist, especially since that trend is on the rise at the moment, isn't helping people heal, it's just stigmatizing people who developed a personality disorder to also cope with abuse.
